Valentine’s Heart Higashi Sweets for Chanoyu, Matcha & Tea

These Valentine’s heart-shaped higashi sweets are inspired by the traditions of chanoyu (the Japanese tea ceremony).
Made to be enjoyed with matcha or Japanese tea, they offer a delicate sweetness that gently complements the tea’s bitterness and umami.

Crafted in the style of traditional higashi, these dry sweets dissolve softly on the palate, creating a quiet, refined moment of tea.
Their heart-shaped design adds a subtle seasonal touch, making them ideal for Valentine’s gifts, tea gatherings, or nodate (outdoor tea).

A thoughtful way to share the spirit of Japanese tea culture through a simple yet meaningful sweet.
